It is great pastime for me to make a snowflake every winter. I can only hope that my kids will ask to make their own snowflakes year after year.

But… well our snowflakes are usually just paper snowflakes. We’ve done a couple with other materials, but I’m so excited to find new ways for the boys to make snowflakes.

These are 30 ways to make a snowflake. With 12 ideas for cutting snowflakes and 18 ideas for snowflakes crafts, or art projects, the kids can make.

Snowflakes are so special aren’t they! Or maybe we just think that because live in a place that rarely sees snow!

Great round up, thanks for including our activity!

  :) Oh, I see snow plenty (wayyyyy too much of it out there at the moment), but making snowflakes for some reason just IS special. It just makes me so happy seeing them, let alone making them!

"I absolutely love that this takes all the prep work out of engaging my children. It is so easy to just put up the calendar, and glance at it for inspiration when we are in a funk." - The Activity Room Member, Rachel

I have found it impossible to Google ideas from a million different sites, get organized, shop for supplies, etc. This is exactly what I have been searching for! Thanks for making something so organized and easy to use. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Melissa C.

This takes down the need to scour the internet for ideas. It's like looking for a recipe on the internet, so many options that often times it is less overwhelming to look in a book on the shelf than stress about too many options. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Robyn G

Thank you so much for these activities. They have proven to me that I CAN be that mom that does cool and creative things with her kids! And those cool and creative things can actually be quite simple! What a revelation. Thank you!! - 7 Day Challenge, Katie M.

I feel like a new mama having so many fun ideas. I used to dread the afternoon, after naps, as it was so boring doing the same thing day after day but now I look forward to our "play" time! - Haley S.

You have changed how I spend time with my kid in so many positive ways! I am now one happy dad that no longer wonders what I am going to do with this little guy for the next 12 hours :P Your site was this first time dad life saver! - Jack C.

It is hard to think of things to keep the 3 year old entertained and engaged while taking care of the baby. Everything we have tried so far from your website, the three year old has loved. Your ideas are so simple and he can do them for hours. HEAVEN! - Karen I.
